dss.mo.gov Check My Status : Department of Social Services Status Check

Go to the Department of Social Services Website to check your child’s Medicaid status: https://mydss.mo.gov/ and click on the “Check My Status” button.

Over 90,000 children in Missouri have been dropped from MO HealthNet (Medicaid) since Jan. 2018. Your child may be one of them. Did you get a yellow annual renewal form in the mail in an envelope with the word “time-sensitive?”

It looks like this. Did you complete it and return it? Have you checked to make sure your child has insurance coverage?

If not, your child may no longer have insurance coverage even if you submitted the form.

MO HealthNet/Medicaid includes the following companies – look at your child’s insurance card.

WHAT TO DO:

Go to the Department of Social Services Website to check your child’s Medicaid status: https://mydss.mo.gov/ and click on the “Check My Status” button.

If your child has lost insurance coverage, you MUST reapply online at https://mydss.mo.gov/qualify.
